I say good for them and good luck to them! The wage disparity really is out of line between public and private sectors.. And the government really has done nothing to address this since legislating them back to work in '91. Hopefully it is a quick end to the strike, as my wife isn't a big fan...

RIP, Lt. Saunders. And may God be with his wife and children in their time of need.

I was wondering...  for all of you who are joining and have kids.. How did you explain what you were doing/why you were going to be away for 4+ months to them?  Especially if they are young? Looks like I may be going in January as DEO (Sig O) and I have a 3 year old daughter, who is quite the...

Thanks John Lee, all... John Lee.. in answer to your questions (trying to decipher through the poor grammar, at least)... CFRC sent my file to Borden back in June, to be considered for the Fall period.  I was wait-listed, and I guess they liked me enough to sign me up for the Winter (How cold...

Actually... I think you should watch your knees.. lol

Genesis.. Thanks for the direct link for the download.  I was gonna look for it today, so you saved me the hassle!

Hoser...  I just hafta say... for the record... Casing suggested I track you down and lay the smack down Tonya Harding style...  but I am too much of a gentleman to do that.. Or am I...  >:D :evil: :dontpanic:

IIRC... All applicants are given a score based on the selection criteria (including interview, cfat, relevant experience, etc.)  Then, they sort all potential applicants based on their score, and  pull from the top of that score and work down until all positions are filled.  the remainder, in...

Yeah.. I was waitlisted last year, and actually given an offer... which I turned down (duh)..  I don't remember where on the waitlist I was, though

DAMN YOU HOSERRRRRRR!!! Congrats..  the Captain I spoke with for Sigs says there were 20 positions this go-around... things'll go well! I just know it...
